"My Favourite"

"My Favourite"


The first time I met you
I knew that I was gonna fall
You took me you shook me
You put me higher on the wall
But I love it you're my favourite
Won't change it for anything at all
I can't do I won't do won't undo
Anything at all 'bout you
Your walking and your looking and
Your smile and little things you do
Promises of kisses your wish is
Never to be blue
Oh I love it you're my favourite
It don't get better than with you
I can't be don't wanna be
I can't see anybody else but you
There are no attractions
That compare with you
Great the satisfaction
Of being near you
Ain't anything at all
Ain't anything at all
Ain't anything at all like you
No there's nothing there at all
Nothing there at all
Nothing there at all like you
[Solo]
Yeah the little things you do
Yeah everybody crazy crazy 'bout you
There can't be there won't be
How could there be anybody like you
I love it you're my favourite
And I won't let anybody in but you
Don't need no willpower
To be true to you
There's no one can think of
Could place above you
Not anyone at all
Not anyone at all
Not anyone at all but you
No not anyone at all
Not anyone at all
Not anyone at all like you
I love it you're my favourite
And it don't get better than with you
I can't see don't wanna be
With anybody else but you
I love it you're my favourite
Won't change it for anything at all
I can't do I won't do
Won't undo anything at all 'bout you

"Never Had A Dream Come True"

"Never Had A Dream Come True"


I never, never had
A dream come true
In my every dream
I'm loved by you
And we're free as the wind
And true love is no sin
Therefore men
Men are men and not machines
Doo, doo, doo, doop
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doop
Doo, ooh
Doo, doo, doo, doop
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doop
Doo, ooh
I never, never had
A dream come true
Without you, the world
Is painted shades of blue
It seems my folks are ashamed
They say I ain't
I ain't worth the pain
Oh, but I'm glad
I'm glad I'm chained to my dreams
Doo, doo, doo, doop
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doop
Doo, ooh
Doo, doo, doo, doop
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doop
Doo, ooh
I wish I was free as the wind
And true love was no sin
In a place where men where men
And not machines
And every dream came true
Babe for me and you
Ooh doo, doo,
Doo, doo, doo, doo,
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

"No Business Like Love Business"

"No Business Like Love Business"


There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go
There's nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There's nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you can be there forever
The next it's a just a thing of the past
Now listen to this
I fell in love with a sweet little girl once
She was everything a woman should be
I did everything to find if she was wrong
But it seemed she loved only me
She gave me some pretty good things
Things I couldn't get from my own dear mother
I had to go away for just a few days
When I returned she's gone off with my brother
I was driving man and I didn't see it coming, no
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go
There's nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There's nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you can be there forever
The next it's a just a thing of the past
Once I knew this rich man
He treated his woman like a queen
He gave the woman everything she needed
He kept her lookin' so fine and clean
He had so much faith in her
His love he never had to check out
But he had to go see a man about a dog one day
And when he got back he found she'd shimmied out
I tried to tell you boy, you wouldn't listen to me
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go
Listen! There ain't nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There ain't nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next it's a thing of the past
La, de, da, de, da, da, ooh, whoo
La, de, da, de, da, da, ooh, whoo, whoo, whoo
La, de, da, de, da, da, ooh, whoo
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go
Listen! There ain't nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There ain't nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next it's a thing of the past

"No Looking Back"

"No Looking Back"


When there's no more looking back
And you feel you've loved in vain
You try and hide your sorrow
Now you're alone again
So you block out your emotion
Laugh it off and carry on
Sayin' why do I have to feel this way
Was loving you so wrong
If I could only turn around
One more time for old time's sake
I'd pick up all the pieces
From the mistakes I made
Did I give myself completely
Or did I hang on for too long
Ah, but what's the use of me talking this way
Now that you're gone
No looking back, it's over now
All over now
I tell myself I'm glad
It's over now
All over now
It's over now
But if I ever love again
Oh, I won't be played a fool
I'll put in my performance
This time I'll know the moves
It's not that I'm feeling bitter
I've no bitterness to show
And all I'm really trying to say is that I wish
I'd never let you go

"Oh Girl"

"Oh Girl"


Oh girl
I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cos I don't know where to look for love
I just don't know how
Oh girl
How I depend on you
To give me love when I need it
Right on time you would always be there
All my friends call me a fool
They say to let the woman take care of you
So I, I try to be hip and think like the crowd
But not even the crowd will help me now, oh
Oh girl
Tell me what am I gonna do
'Cos I know I got such a guilty face
Girl, I feel so out of place
Oh, yeah, yeah
[Solo]
All my friends call me a fool
They say the woman should be taking care of you
So I, try to be hip and think like the crowd, yeah
Not even the crowd can help me now
Oh, you know
Oh girl
I guess I'll never know
I could save myself
A lot of useless tears
Girl, I've gotta get away from here
Oh girl
Pain will double if you leave me now
'Cos I don't know where to look for love
And I just don't know how
Oh, no, no
Don't know where to look
Don't know where to run
Don't know where to go
Oh girl
I'm no good without you, no, no

"Oh Wot A Life"

"Oh Wot A Life"


...2 - 3 - 4
I wanna get back home
But the bar won't close
Till ten and thirty tonight
Oh boy, good God, wot a life
Some cat down there
Split his head wide open
And the doctor died of fright
Oh, wot a life
Every woman I see she says to me
"Get back to your wife"
Everyone I know got their little problems
Boy, I wanna see some life
The Fender got busted in the second set
And the pick-up's up the pike
And the Leslie sound goes round and round
And round and round
Oh boy, good God, wot a life
Get back in my car like a movie star
It's an Austin Healey Sprite, huh
Oh boy, wot a life
I think I'll go dig some weeds down at Mrs G's
Cut the cross-bar off her bike
Oh, wot a life
Every woman I see they say to me
"Now you know what I like"
Every woman I see they fix me up
Saying, "Get back to your wife"
Next number's called paranoia
It's the story of my life
And the gigs we do take me down and down
And down and down and down
Good God, wot a life

[Solo]

Now the next number we do is called paranoia
It's the story of my life
Oh, grrrr, wot a life
(Alright, may as well get out of here now...)

"On The Old Dirt Road"

"On The Old Dirt Road"


I'm on the old dirt road
Without a care
Gotta sixpence in my pocket
Oh I'm a millionaire
Oh and I would do anything to go back there
On the old dirt road
Oh my brother and me
We make a mess all weekend
'Til Sunday eve
Oh and I am travelling through the past
Oh and I can see myself
Face to face in the looking glass
Playing in the dust
I haven't got a care
And nobody makes a fuss
'Cos there's no one there
On the old dirt road
I got no name
Build a castle wall
And knock it down again
Oh and I am a child again
Oh and I have no need to pretend
Oh I hear you cry
Go back to sleep
But I can't make it stop
'Cos it's not a dream
Playing in the dust
I haven't no cares
And nobody makes a fuss
'Cos there's no one there
I'm a millionaire

[Solo]

On the old dirt road
I'm a millionaire
Gotta sixpence in my pocket
I haven't got a care
On the old dirt road
I ain't got no name
I build a castle wall
And knock it down again
Oh and I would do anything to go back there again
Oh and I
I'm a child again

"Once In A While"

"Once In A While"


I think of this most every night
How hard it is just to get it all right
I'm looking here and I'm lookin' there
I see a heart broken
Pieces everywhere
Wouldn't you try and wouldn't you know
You try so hard still to let it all go
Too much trouble and too much pain
I think I'm gonna have that luck again
What'll I do if you walk away
What'll I do if you walk away
Well I haven't a chance
No I haven't a chance
Once in a while I get this feeling
Now and again I'm all in a daze
Time after time I ask myself this
Will you walk away
Once in a while I get this feeling
A crazy notion - A careless thought
I start to worry and time gets short
We'll think if this my dear young one
The time to act has just begun
What'll I do if you walk away
What'll I do if you walk away
Well I haven't a chance
No I haven't a chance
Once in a while I get this feeling
Now and again I'm all in a daze
Time after time I ask myself this
Will you walk away
Once in a while I get this feeling
Once in a while I get this feeling
Now and again I'm all in a daze
Time after time I ask myself this
Will you walk away

"One Man Band"

"One Man Band"


Everybody knows down Ladbroke Grove
You have to leap across the street
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
You gotta have eyes in your feet
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Take up your guitar and play
Then the lawman comes and says move along
So you move along all day
I'm a one man band
Nobody cares nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend a hand
To my one man band
For three days now I haven't eaten at all
My, my, I must be getting so thin
Soon my cap won't be large enough
To drop a half-a-crown in
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
When I can play you any song you like
To cheer up the life you lead
I'm a one man band
Nobody cares nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend a hand
To my one man band
And oh, oh, oh, look at the rain falling
Oh, oh, oh look at it rain
Oh look at it rain
Nobody sees the minstrel boy
As he sings his tale of woe
Nobody sees him coming, nobody sees him go
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
When I can play you any song you like
To cheer up the life you lead
I'm a one man band
Nobody cares nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend a hand
To my one man band

"Only Dreaming"

"Only Dreaming"


Oh when the night creeps
Up over the hillside
Oh it's quiet up here
You can hear your thoughts from the inside
Oh well it took me a while
To take in the atmosphere
Dark clouds of evil all around
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
There is no hooded killer
No Dracula, no Frankenstein
Oh well it's all psychological
Oh it's all in your mind
Oh when a boy
We'd visited a haunted house
And there were demons in there
Of that there isn't a doubt
And I would hide behind my hand
Every night
With fear right there on my brow
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
There is no hooded killer
No Dracula, no Frankenstein
Oh well it's all psychological
Oh it's all in your mind
Oh I see danger in living
I'm on a runaway train without wheels
Now I'm crawling through a tunnel
With bloodhounds at my heels
Everywhere I turn
There are screams all around
Behind trees wolves howl
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
